FARGO, N.D. (AP) _ Four airmen with the North Dakota Air
National Guard are returning home after four months of duty in
Southwest Asia.
The airmen are scheduled to fly in to Fargo on two flights late
Tuesday. The Guard did not disclose their exact area of service
overseas. They handled duties including overseeing a fitness
center, assisting with lodging for soldiers, ensuring the quality
of food service and helping with food deliveries.
Only two North Dakota Air National Guard soldiers remain
overseas. The Guard says that for a brief time after the new year
there will be no North Dakota airmen overseas. The Guard says the
break in service will be the first since the 9/11 terrorist
attacks.
More than 100 North Dakota Army National Guard soldiers are
deployed overseas.
